Indy Racing Odds: Camping World GP Results

When Justin Wilson crossed the finish line Sunday at Watkins Glen International, giving Dale Coyne his long-awaited victory, the 54-year-old owner smiled broadly and raised both arms in triumph.

The triumph came in Coyne’s 558th entry since 1984 as a driver-owner, and it was dominant.

Wilson passed pole-sitter Ryan Briscoe early and easily held on after a late restart to win the Camping World Grand Prix by nearly five seconds. Wilson led 49 laps of the 60-lap race around the 11-turn, 3.4-mile circuit.

It was Wilson’s second IndyCar win. His first came at Detroit on Labor Day weekend last year.

Ganassi’s Scott Dixon, a three-time winner at The Glen, was third, followed by Penske’s Helio Castroneves and Marco Andretti. Series points leader Dario Franchitti started fifth but was involved in an early crash and finished 15th. That dropped him into a second-place tie with Briscoe, 19 points behind Dixon.

SunTrust Indy Challenge Results: How'd Danica Do?

One year after a 26-car field produced what Danica Patrick described as a “carnagefest” on the shortest track on the series, with 103 laps of caution and a dozen accidents, the latest visit was quite the opposite.

Twenty cars spent the night speeding single file around the D-shaped oval, with none of the drama fans are accustomed to seeing in NASCAR country.

Scott Dixon won for the 19th time in the IndyCar Series, tying Sam Hornish Jr.’s career victories record, and said the night could have been a turning point in the season.

So how did Danica do?

Patrick, who had her fifth top-five finish in eight races, said her team will have to go back to work and figure out why it did so poorly in qualifying. She started 10th and ended up fifth.

Danica Patrick to Join F1?

But at least her path was cleared by pioneers like Janet Guthrie and Lyn St. James. Imagine the uproar Patrick will cause if she ever makes the switch to compete in Formula One.

Patrick wouldn’t be the first woman in F1, either. Lella Lombardi raced 17 times in the mid-1970s, finishing sixth at the 1975 Spanish Grand Prix. Four other women have crossed the F1 gender line; the most recent was Giovanna Amati in 1992, although she failed to qualify in three tries before being replaced at Brabham by Damon Hill.

Honda plans to bring Patrick in for a full test of the “Earth Dreams” car in November, once the 2008 F1 season is over. This is one of Patrick’s goals in life, and she seems to get what she wants. Get all your Formula 1 odds in the Bodog Sportsbook now.

Milka Duno and Danica Patrick Fight

Danica Patrick approached Venezuelan driver Milka Duno at a practice session for the Honda Indy 200 in Ohio. Apparently, Duno was driving too slow and not allowing faster cars to pass. This pissed off the 26-year-old racing champ, Patrick.

After some heated words were exchanged, Duno twice threw a towel at Patrick. Check out the video below:

Some Guys Have a Few Danica Patrick Pictures

Everyone with a modem knows that Danica Patrick pictures are all over the internet. Here's one. Here's another. Here's three-in-one. But just how many Danica Patrick pics does one need in their archives to create a nine-minute video tribute (with some seriously peculiar music selections) to the admittedly-pretty-hot driver. We're estimating around 300.

Hey, all power to "matpo" over at YouTube – the guy obviously has a nice little hobby going. In the meantime, sexy Danica might wanna think about a restraining order. Just saying…
